hi all, while doing some research for an interview tomorrow, i chanced upon this site. Im 34 years old,have been through hell & back, & then back to hell again. $ is very important in life, its not everything, but especially in spore, it is too important.(contradictory?). My motive is to just say that everyone, just try your best in everything & work hard. If your efforts dont get recognised, you will eventually figure out what needs to be changed. Gradually, things will fall into place.

Whatever it is, always remember to be thankful for what you have. This year, i went downhill again. I lost my job, & my wife left me after having an affair. My son was taken away from my home, which i had to sell off, & still no sales proceeds to enjoy. No income for months, crashed at relatives' homes. Lost "fake" friends & learnt a lot more about life,..again.

I worked hard & tried to be a good husband, father, employee & a good friend. BUT life has its own plans for everyone.

Im just thankful, I still have positive hopes. I still have my health & some years of "youth". I worked my way up without much education, from dishwasher to security guard, to waiter,to sales assistant, to sales manager, to learn the ropes to be a good Business Development Manager. And most recently a Senior position. Then, in a flash, all was taken away from me. Now im broke but i have my brains & health still.

So it all can start afresh, no matter who says what. Tomorrow's interview is for a Managerial Position, possibly just paying $4K, but it huge to me, at this point. From there, I will ensure, I give my all, & im sure I will be recognised again. Truth be told, I will accept a $2K job as a junior executive if they offered me. All I know is they will be lucky to hie me, a capable worker, who will work his butt off, to grow again in this mean world.

When one area gets back on track, the other good things in life will start to fall in place, gradually, hopefully.

Bottomline, i havent given up yet. so neither should anyone else. Good luck those after big paychecks, but remember, $ is not everything...
